Iowa State’s burst-and-balance back with proven big-play juice
In the 2018 season, Mike Warren was a compact, decisive Iowa State running back with a proven track record: 2,003 career rushing yards, 395 carries, 27 catches, and 9 total touchdowns, highlighted by a 5.1 yards-per-carry career average[2][3][11]. His differentiator was always his ability to hit creases fast and turn routine runs into chunk plays, plus the toughness and ball-security consistency that made him a trusted workload back at Iowa State[8][12]. If a team wants a reliable, north-south runner with real production history and enough pop to keep defenses honest, Warren fits the bill[6][7].
